With the development of industrial automation technology, the limitation of traditional cable control network has become increasingly prominent. Consequently, establishing a reliable data transmission network becomes a critical demand in industry. Increasingly, companies developing monitoring and control applications in industrial and commercial building environments are looking to wireless technologies like ZigBee to save the cost of wiring and installation and also to allow more flexible deployment of systems. Zigbee was developed to satisfy the market's need for a cost-effective, standardsbased wireless network that supports low data rates, low power consumption, security, and reliability. This paper illustrates that the ZigBee wireless technology can perform well in industrial environments in terms of performance and reliabilities.
